would you....

[stokemaveric]

give up your life to save someone elses??....

[thetruthhurts]

Yes bit saving someone from drowning isn't deliberately giving your life to save someone, which is what i though the question was. Of course I would try and save someone who was in danger, but not, if I knew that it would result in my death.

[stokemaveric]

so in other words thetruthurts...no you wouldnt...and im not saying that to be horrible to you...its a big question really...

[thetruthhurts]

No, because what is the point of giving a life to save a life? It's a pointless act. So, no

[stokemaveric]

a mate of mine whilst on duty in northern ireland,and i wont bore you with the details,gave his life,he knew full well that he had a good chance of dying..to save a comrade,which he did,but paid the ultimate price...would you say that that was a waste of time then???

[poodicat]

Stoke no, the man was just doing what he morally thought was right

[stokemaveric]

thats what i mean poodicat ''morally'' right....im sure people act on instinct in a life or death situation....i guess its no good being a dead hero tho eh??

[ttfn]

Oh dear stoke - I think that tth will never see another view on this question - each to his own. My view is just that I love somebody else more than I love myself and the giving of my life would be the ultimate token. Simples.

[stokemaveric]

me too ttfn....i wouldnt give it a second thought....

[ttfn]

We could be soul mates stoke (;-))

[stokemaveric]

its a done deal ttfn....
